Imagine
sitting at your desk and having instant visual access anywhere in your
office, just by clicking your mouse. Now imagine
having that added security and comfort with no additional software on your
computer and only a minimal hardware installation. The
network camera is a “Plug and Watch” device that attaches directly to your
network, wherever there is a LAN connection.

“The
best thing about this system is that it works with Internet Explorer or other
systems,” says Alexander Adler, president of Computer Telephone Video
Integrators. Some of the cameras we sell come with a
built in webserver and web interface for quick and easy installation. Just connect to your network, assign an IP address and its
complete.”

The
AXIS 2100 is just one of many systems melding the worlds of video and
computer systems, says Adler. Many companies,
especially small businesses, are hard pressed to keep up with all the latest
technological developments that could streamline operations, improve the
efficiency of telecommuting, consolidate resources and ultimately increase
profits. That’s what makes CTVI a crucial resource
in this fast-paced age of computer, telephone and video innovations.

“When
we needed to expand our phone network, CTVI knew the product and was able to
customize it,” says Morris Grajower, president of New Age Media Systems, an
Internet marketing research data provider. “Alex
Adler was able to provide everything, from cabling to training tools, and
take care of all our needs.”

Founded
in 1990, CTVI has built a reputation on sincerity, reliability and concern
for customers’ needs. The cornerstone of CTVI’s
operation is the burgeoning field of Internet telephony.

“Right
now, VOIP has yet to maximize its efficiency,” says Adler. “It
does not make sense in all cases. Companies interconnecting their
branch offices via the Internet. are seeing return
on their investment but companies installing VOIP within their office are not
seeing the benefits.” (for more on this subject seerelease 103)

Also
on the horizon is a new level of availability for video conferencing. “Among local and long distance companies, prices are
dropping for the bandwidth necessary for video conferencing,” says Adler. “It will become very affordable.”

But
even as new technology dawns, more companies are reducing staff demands
through existing technology such as voice mail systems. CTVI
has assisted such large corporations as Xerox, Qwest and Viatel
in setting up office voice mail systems, but also specializes in custom
service for small businesses. “People come to us for
our one-stop expertise,” says Adler. “You don’t need
to call 20 different companies. Take advantage of
the economy of skills.”
